Ezekiel 31
1 It happened in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu, mu mwezi ogwokusatu ku lunaku olw’olubereberye, ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 "Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: 'Whom are you like in your greatness?
“Omwana w’omuntu, tegeeza Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri n’olufulube lw’abantu be nti, “‘Ani ayinza okwegeraageranya naawe mu kitiibwa?
3 Look, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.
Tunuulira Obwasuli, ogwali omuvule mu Lebanooni, nga gulina amatabi amalungi agaasiikirizanga ekibira; ogwali omuwanvu ennyo, nga guyitamu ne mu kasolya ak’ekibira.
4 The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow: its rivers ran all around its plantation; and it sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.
Amazzi gaaguliisanga, n’enzizi ezikka wansi ennyo ne ziguwanvuya, n’emigga gyagyo ne gigwetooloola wonna, ne giweerezanga n’amatabi gaagyo eri emiti gyonna egy’omu ttale.
5 Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot them forth.
Kyegwava gukula ne guwanvuwa okusinga emiti gyonna egy’omu kibira, n’amatabi gaagwo amanene ne geeyongera obunene, n’amatabi gaagwo amatono ne gawanvuwa ne gasaasaana olw’obungi bw’amazzi.
6 All the birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches all the animals of the field brought forth their young; and all great nations lived under its shadow.
Ebinyonyi byonna eby’omu bbanga ne bizimba ebisu byazo mu matabi gaagwo amanene, n’ensolo enkambwe ez’oku ttale ne zizaaliranga wansi w’amatabi gaagwo, n’amawanga gonna amakulu ne gabeeranga wansi w’ekisiikirize kyagwo.
7 Thus was it beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.
Gwali gwa kitalo mu bulungi bwagwo, n’amatabi gaagwo amanene, kubanga emirandira gyagwo gyasima awali amazzi amangi.
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir trees were not like its boughs, and the plane trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its beauty.
Emivule egyali mu nnimiro ya Katonda tegyayinza kuguvuganya, newaakubadde emiberoosi okwenkana n’amatabi gaagwo amanene; n’emyalamooni nga tegifaanana matabi gaagwo amatono, so nga tewali muti mu nnimiro ya Katonda ogugwenkana mu bulungi.
9 I made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.'
Nagulungiya n’amatabi amangi, emiti gyonna egy’omu Adeni egyali mu nnimiro ya Katonda ne gigukwatirwa obuggya.
10 "Therefore thus said Jehovah: 'Because you are exalted in stature, and he has set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
“‘Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera bw’ati nti; Kubanga gwegulumiza, ne gwewanika waggulu okuyita mu kasolya ak’ekibira, ate ne guba n’amalala olw’obuwanvu bwagwo,
11 I will even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I have driven him out for his wickedness.
kyendiva nguwaayo mu mukono gw’omufuzi ow’amawanga agukole ng’obutali butuukirivu bwagwo bwe buli, era ngugobye.
12 Strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
Era bannaggwanga abasingirayo ddala obukambwe baagutema ne bagusuula. Amatabi gaagwo amanene gaagwa ku nsozi ne mu biwonvu byonna, n’amatabi gaagwo amatono ne gagwa nga gamenyese mu biwonvu byonna eby’ensi. N’amawanga gonna ag’oku nsi gaava wansi w’ekisiikirize kyagwo, ne gagulekawo.
13 On his ruin all the birds of the sky shall dwell, and all the animals of the field shall be on his branches;
Ebinyonyi byonna eby’omu bbanga ne bituula ku matabi agaagwa, era n’ensolo enkambwe ez’oku ttale zonna ne zibeera mu matabi gaagwo.
14 to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height, even all who drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, among human beings who go down to the pit.'
Kyewaliva walema okubaawo emiti okumpi n’amazzi egirikula ne giwanvuwa ne gyegulumiza n’okutuuka okuyita mu kasolya k’ekibira. Era tewalibaawo miti mirala egyafukirirwa obulungi egiriwanvuwa okutuuka awo, kubanga gyonna giweereddwayo eri okufa, okugenda emagombe, mu bantu abaabulijjo, n’abo abakka mu bunnya.
15 "Thus says Jehovah: 'In the day when he went down to Sheol I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained its rivers; and the great waters were stayed; and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol h7585)
“‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ku lunaku lwe gwaleetebwa wansi emagombe, enzizi zaagukaabira, era naziyiza n’emigga gyagwo, n’amazzi gaagwo amangi okukulukuta. Ku lulwe nayambaza Lebanooni obuyinike, n’emiti gyonna egy’oku ttale ne gikala. (Sheol h7585)
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with those who descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the lower parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Naleetera amawanga okukankana olw’eddoboozi ery’okugwa kwagwo bwe naguserengesa emagombe n’abo abaserengeta wansi mu bunnya. Olwo emiti gyonna egya Adeni, egy’amaanyi era egisingayo obulungi egya Lebanooni emiti gyonna egyali gifukiriddwa obulungi amazzi, ne gizzibwamu amaanyi wansi mu nsi. (Sheol h7585)
17 They also went down into Sheol with him to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, that lived under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Abo bonna ababeera mu kisiikirize kyagwo, n’amawanga agassanga ekimu nabo, bakirira nabo emagombe ne beegatta ku abo abattibwa n’ekitala. (Sheol h7585)
18 To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude,' says Jehovah."
“‘Muti ki mu gy’omu Adeni ogw’enkana naawe mu bukulu mu kitiibwa kyo? Era naye, olisuulibwa wamu n’emiti egy’omu Adeni n’oserengeta emagombe, n’ogalamira eyo wamu n’abatali bakomole, n’abo abattibwa n’ekitala. “‘Ono ye Falaawo n’ekibinja kye kyonna, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
